Abstract: Let $Psi$ be a system of linear forms with finite complexity. In their seminal paper, Green and Tao showed the following prime number theorem for values of the system $Psi$: ${\displaystyle }$sum_{xin [-N,N]^d} prod_{i=1}^t mathbf{1}_{mathcal{P}}(psi_i(x)) sim frac{(2N)^d}{(log N)^t} prod_{p} �eta_p,${\displaystyle }$ where $$ are the corresponding local densities. In this paper, we demonstrate limits to equidistribution of these primes on small scales; we show the analog to Maier's result on primes in short intervals. In particular, we show that for all $lambda>1$, there exist $delt{a}_{l}ambd{a}^{p}m>0$ such that for $N$ sufficiently large, there exist boxes $B^{p}msubset[-N,N{]}^d$ of sidelengths at least $(logN{)}^{l}ambda$ such that ${\displaystyle }$sum_{xin B^+} prod_{i=1}^t mathbf{1}_{mathcal{P}}(psi_i(x)) > (1+delta^+) frac{mathrm{vol}(B^+)}{(log N)^t} prod_{p}�eta_p,${\displaystyle }$ ${\displaystyle }$sum_{xin B^-} prod_{i=1}^t mathbf{1}_{mathcal{P}}(psi_i(x)) < (1-delta^-) frac{mathrm{vol}(B^-)}{(log N)^t} prod_{p}�eta_p.${\displaystyle }$
